Default V8 Supercars III - your lap times?

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my PC and splashed out on a new game: V8 Supercars III.

Of course, as soon as I installed it I loaded up V8 Supercars series, Bathurst and drove the SBR Falcon around.

My best shootout time so far is 1:43 something. This is with the Pro settings off as I haven't had much time to master it yet. I think that'd significantly slow me down.

I was wondering what others have done?

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hey

Dont have V8SC3 yet... but...

Get yourself a copy of GTR2 and download the MMM V8 supercar mod + the tracks for it. You wont be disappointed... iron clad guarantee!

Best time @ Mt Panorama in GTR2 has been 2:03.8 in a Ferrari 550 and 2:10 in a V8SC.

some almost realistic times around bathurst. sounds good. v8sc's do a 2:07 in reality and there's not much that will better them around that track as they are purpose built. i like my games to have a certain degree of reality about them.

love f1 but due to sony ps getting the rights to any f1 games there's been nothing for pc for a few years. i still use gp4 which seems to be very realistic in terms of performance and lap times.

on v8sc3 i think i managed a 1:13 or 14 or something around adelaide.

Yeah that was with full tank of fuel etc... so with a bit of tweaking im hoping i can get down to 2:07s in the V8SC. I know someone who does 2:00 flat in the ferarri (its a racing version of a 550 so turns, stops and accelerates better than the falcadores) but he uses a controller... which is cheating. Steering wheel or nothing IMO

DEFINATELY get your hands on GTR2, its a brilliant game. Very difficult as its a sim, not a game... but not *quite* as realistic as two others:

rFactor also has V8SC mods with a beautiful rendition of mount panorama. And of course you can take an 07 williams F1 car (with engine sounds that make your knees wobble) around it should you choose to do so lol.

Live for speed is another great sim, the most realistic out of the lot and the hardest to drive. Also features williams F1.

rFactor/LFS both have a good mix of tintop and open wheel simulation... they both have an online focus but takes hours and hours and hours of practice to get the hang of it. LFS = drift!

If you need any assistance *finding* these games... just PM me.

Nice times around Bathurst, GTR2 is a fantastic simulator, as is rfactor. V8S3 is fun until you realize the lack of realism, but its glossy and has all the cars and drivers & most of the tracks, good fun racing your mates.

I would have to say the motorsport i will sit and watch almost entirely, at the moment is BTCC and MotoGP. Moto GP for obvious reasons, but BTCC or DTM for their close racing, and bullish moves....

You can get it from Here. Just check out the GTR2 releases section.
It's not really a mod (such as the ORSM v8 supercar mod for rFactor), it's really just a collection of tracks (that you can download separately) and a couple of extra cars. I've got both games (gtr2 and rFactor) but atm I prefer gtr2. It allows me to see my racing line, so I can improve my lap times and consistency. (Not to mention the driving tutorials).

Mr Men Mods...

http://www.mrmenmods.org/gtr2releases.html

All free, all legit... and dare i say, better than any retail release of this series ive ever played.

Strongly recommend checking out Rfactor... ive only got Mr Panorama on it from the V8SC series, havent seen if the other V8SC tracks are on rfactor yet. But i tell ya what, a run up through the cutting in an 07 F1 car will definately bring your heart rate up.

Any game, any platform would be interesting.

I used to play EA Sports V8 Challenge a few years ago but can't remember the times.

I have 1:45 recorded against my account and have seen it go as low as 1:43 but it didn't save it for some reason. And now I can't better 1:53. This is all non-pro mode.

Confusing!

I am in the 1:42's doing time trail with my simulator. It helps big time on your lap time, well does for me.

I reduce front and rear down force, To get top speed before the chase and flat on the floor through the chase. you need to nail the cutting and the dipper for a good lap.

It was a one off design, they are not hard to make. sit on the floor and work out where you want your feet and hands. I have also made a V8 Supercar for a mate but it was a HRT. Thinking of making a XP Coupe for my self.

They're great - you're obviously pretty handy with a jigsaw!!

I've seen some of the commercial ones but they seem to be about $1,000-$2,000. Might get out the old Black & Decker and get to work!
